"Global Powers Intensify Sanctions Against Russia and Allies"

The EU has approved a new sanctions package against Russia, targeting nearly 200 entities and individuals accused of aiding Moscow in procuring weapons and being involved in the kidnapping of Ukrainian children. The sanctions will ban these entities and individuals from traveling to the EU or conducting business there, with a focus on those connected to Russia's military industrial complex and those involved in trafficking and kidnapping Ukrainian children. The package also includes measures to restrict Russia's access to drones and will be formally approved in time for the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
